According to reports out of Turin, the striker is poised to sign a four year contract if the two sides can come to an agreement over his transfer fee. Los Merengues want €30-35million for Higuain while the Bianconeri are willing to shell out €22-25million for the Argentine’s services.

The Italian side won the Serie A title behind an elite midfield and a robust defense that conceded only 20 goals the entire season. The offense, however, scored six fewer goals than second place AC Milan, prompting many to believe that this summer Juve will allocate serious money to build a top-rank strikeforce. Fernando Llorente is already set to join the Turin club on a free transfer while Higuain tops a wish list that includes Manchester City’s Carlos Tevez, Fiorentina’s Stevan Jovetic and Barcelona’s Alexis Sanchez.

Despite notching an impressive 104 goals in 185 matches since moving to the Bernabeu in 2007, Higuain has struggled this season. The Argentine has been forced to split time with Karim Benzema, resulting in only 26 La Liga appearances (17 of which were starts) where he’s netted 14 goals.

Higuain’s drop in form may be one reason why the 25-year-old was recently put up for sale by Real Madrid, who have vowed to keep hold of Benzema and to bring two new faces into the club this summer. One of those faces could be Tottenham’s Gareth Bale, who Madrid are reportedly willing to spend up to £60million to acquire.

Spurs, however, have no intent of parting ways with the Welshman and are in desperate need of a striker after enduring long spells of the 2012-13 season with either no forwards or an underwhelming committee effort comprised of Emmanuel Adebayor, Jermain Defoe and Clint Dempsey. Tottenham have also been rumored to be interested in bringing Higuain to White Hart Lane, valuing the Madrid striker somewhere in the region of £20million.

Should a deal not be worked out with Juventus, Arsenal is another club where Higuain could land. The Argentine be a major coup for the North London club. While Olivier Giroud enjoyed mild success in his first season at the Emirates question marks surround whether the former Montpellier man is a proper match for Arsenal’s style of play.

Higuain’s silky skills, link-up play and finishing ability, however, could be just what the Gunners need to challenge for next year’s title. And with a thick transfer kitty boosted by a £30m a year kit deal with Puma, Arsenal might finally be ready to splash the cash on a marquee signing.
